Review of Jack Frost

After a serial killer gets doused with some toxic, mutating ooze, a small town must deal with the terrible wrath of his new deep-freeze form (to say nothing of his horrific carrot nose and eyes made out of hellish coal). Although clearly indebted to the superior horror-comedy of Sam Raimi (the venerable director of The Evil Dead trilogy), this killer snowman movie is somewhat less than abominable (sorry), with a cheerful, wonky sense of humor, some intentionally cheesy special effects, and a creative enthusiasm that belies the obviously low budget. Good fun for the less-discriminating horror fan, although potential viewers should be warned in advance that a blatantly misogynist scene in a female victim's bathtub crosses the line between enjoyably tasteless and downright disgusting. --Andrew Wright

    Great nostalgia

    We like some of the old movies and this one was great. we rented it by accident a few years ago and decided we had to have it then discovered the lead character had died so would not be making any more movies after Jack Frost 2. SO had to have it!

    Like a Train Wreck

    Okay, this movie was horrible, but...I couldn't stop watching!

    That being said, it HAS to be seen at LEAST once. It's like...MST3000 worthy! Yet, it's still funny enough on it's own. It's considered a horror movie, but I spent more time laughing than anything.

    This is one wacky movie.

    Cheesy Campy Fun

    Ok for those that think this is going to be a super scary slasher with a viscious looking snowman like the cover, think again.

    It is story about a serial killer "Jack Frost" recently captured by the local sheriff, hand cuffed and on route for his execution. When suddenly a blizzard occurs and visibility becomes impossible and they collide with a genetics experiment truck. Soon the genetics truck explodes and the chemical inside melts Jack into the snow. Soon the abonimable killer is on the loose seeking his revenge on the sheriff that put him into this predictament and of course killing anyone in his path.

    Sounds OK right? Well it is a very watchable movie. Especially for anyone that likes movies that you can't believe were ever made. More comical then scary. Jack is far from the appearance the cover depicts. What you get is a guy in a puffy white snowman outfit with large white oven mit hands. What adds to the hilarity is the way people battle the abonimable killer. Hair dryers, aerosol cans and lighters, heaters, etc. fill the movie with extra laughs. In fact take out the strange rape scene and this film in my book gets five stars.

    Overall, a fun movie that is a must buy for anyone that likes the cheesy campy films of the 80s. Belongs next to Killer Klowns and Tomatoes on the shelf.
